Kroos does not back down: determined to leave the national team

Toni Kroos has reiterated his decision not to wear the shirt of the Mannschaft, something that will not change either with the new German coach Hansi Flick. On the podcast Einfach bad luppen, which he shares with his brother Felix, the white midfielder made it clear that he prefers to concentrate on his day-to-day with Real Madrid and take advantage of the breaks to spend more time with his family and take care of his physique.

“Hansi can call at any time, of course, and it doesn't always have to be to talk about football,” explained the 31-year-old footballer, who played a total of 106 games for Mannschaft and was proclaimed world champion in 2014. . “But we had a long conversation after the Euro in which I told him my idea, my plan, my wish. The result is known.”.

As for his injury, Kroos did not miss the opportunity to send a message of optimism to the Madrid fans. “I'm better”, were the words of a Kroos who is already back on the Valdebebas grass to train alone after having recovered from the pubalgia he suffered in August before the league premiere. “The sensations are good, but I still have to be fully satisfied”Kroos concluded.
